Initially I thought I would go the EG route but the length and improvements on the EZ model turned me. BIGKAT83 started w/ a 3.3 then went w/ a 3.0. BTW, the EZ's are only 1.5" longer than the 4's.

I know the size is a big improvement and thus the weight also, but when I picked up a running SVX with 109k for only 1500 bucks it made sense to stick with that. It fits altho it will be a bit tight, it weighs a bit more but still acceptable and the parts options are deep with it only being 2 more cylinders than the 2.2. The basic engine is bulletproof like a 2.2, but the sound of a flat-plane crank is rather exotic and it's gonna haul ass... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I paid $500 for one with 180K but I figured once I get the conversion running, I could always buy a 2nd engine to play with. $200 for an mt5 trans with axles and starter. $550 to have the wire harness converted. I paid my local mechanic $100 to pull the engine and then once I pulled the main harness in his lot, he got rid of the car. Best $100 i've ever spent. Amerson is going to install the running gear and fab a front radiator but even if I had a smaller engine, it would get a front rad. It just makes sense to put it out in the fresh moving air vs dead hot air in the engine compartment. |
